Sleep Sleepers: Top 10 Super – Sleeper Deep Hitters – Odor Sleep Pitchers
Tyler Skaggs – SP – Arizona Diamondbacks
Coming up in the minors, Skaggs emerged as one of the top starting pitching prospects in all of baseball during the 2012 season. Offering excellent hitting ability and a proven minor league track, the 25-year-old Skaggs is poised to make a huge impact as a rookie. in the Diamondbacks starting rotation in 2013.
Shelby Miller – SP – St. Louis Cardinals
As a first round draft pick in the 2009 MLB draft for the St. Louis Cardinals, Miller has endured high expectations with him over the past several years. In his much-anticipated major league debut to finish the 2012 season, Miller excelled during his short time on the mound. Possessing excellent hitting ability, and a full season of relief in Triple A in 2012 under his belt, Miller has an excellent opportunity to secure a spot in the Cardinals rotation in 2013.
Jacob Turner – SP – Miami Marlins
Entering 2012 as the Detroit Tigers’ top starting prospect, Turner took advantage of his opportunities to demonstrate his ability on the mound with the Tigers at the major league level. Growing impatient, the Tigers traded Turner to the Miami Marlins midway through the 2012 season. Turner made this transition from the American-hockey-league to the National League like a miracle, putting up a very respectable 3.38 ERA. and a 0.98 ERA over 42 innings pitched with the Marlins. This new change of scenery could finally have Turner starting to realize his potential in the 2013 season.
Julio Teheran – SP – Atlanta Braves
Once a highly respected prospect, Teheran put up a very disappointing season in Triple A in 2012. With these lights somewhat tarnished in the minds of fantasy baseball owners entering the 2013 season, Teheran will have a chance to claim a starting spot in the Braves rotation. time to start, and easily emerge as one of the top pitchers in 2013 rookie pitchers.
Wing Peralta – SP – Rome Brewers
Making steady progress through the Brewers’ minor league system since 2008, Peralta pitched a little during the 2012 season in Triple A. However, Peralta still earned a call-up and made his major league debut with the Brewers in the second half of the 2012 season. After a solid 2.48 ERA and 23 strikeouts over 29 innings pitched, Peralta has shown plenty of promise to make a significant contribution to the Brewers’ starting rotation. At age 23 and with plenty of minor league experience, Peralta will have the ability to claim a start in the Brewers’ rotation in 2013.
